TOOL FOR GRAI-NING MARBLE, ac.

Specificatio :ming part of Letters Patent No. 43,359, dated June 28, 18 64.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, STEPHEN WIGGIN, of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and nsefulmachine or elastic type for graining in imitation. of wood or marble, or lettering or-decorating on wood or hard surface .7

whereby the process is greatlyfacilitated and more beautifully executed than can be done in the ordinary way of graining, marbling, &c.;

and I do hereby declare that the following is.

an exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specifieation, in whiche- A represents a cylinder covered with the elastic type, composed of rubber or some suitable elastic substance. TB is a cylinder covered with cloth. O isa clamp attached to center pins of cylinder A D D, center pins to cylinders A and B. E E are springspressing the two cylinders together, fastened to clamp 0-. and connected -to center pins of cylinder B. F is the handle.

To operate this machine for -graining on wood, first put on the graining color with a common paint-brush, as in the ordinary way of graining; then apply the elastic type cylinder A, pressing and revolving it over the surface to be grained, by handle F, leaving the surface completely grained, cylinder B cleaning the typeirreach successive revolw tion, as this type for graining takes off certain portions of color, instead of putting" on.

For marbling, decorating, or lettering, the

color should be applied to the type, cylinder B gaging the quantity to be used.

Having thus described Inyinvent-ion, what I claim as newthere'in, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-\ The combination of the elastic-type cylinder A, cleaning-roller B, clamp 0, center pins, D, springs E E, and handle F, the whole beingeonstructed, arranged, and. employed in.

the manner and for the purpose set forth,

STEPHEN WIGGIN. Witnesses:
